Hopefully I can keep an eye out on this and get some tickets before they sell out. I'll have my GT4 by then and I think this actually coincides with the timeshare I have in Monterey so it would be perfect.

Would love to get a Spyder group together to ride up to Monterey from SoCal or just meet and greet at cannery row. So far in advance right now that there is actually a chance to get tix and reservations at a proper hotel or whatever. Cannot Wait. Hoping I have a new Porsche by then.

Tell this to the guy from Miami who would have to travel 44 hours (2,973 miles) to attend. Or someone from from Boston who has to travel 47 hr (3,194 miles) to attend.

Having this in California is not inclusive. There are lots of tracks such as Road America, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, or Circuit of the Americas that would at least be somewhat centrally located in the US, and have the same level of facilities and infrastructure as Laguna Seca. Alienating more than half of your enthusiasts is not a way to increase your sales or business.

Just my $.02.
The first 3 reunions were held on the East Coast.
Porsche knows what they are doing regarding the venue... more owners in California than in any other state.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_Rennsport_Reunion

Rennsport Reunion is an event hosted since 2001 every 3 to 4 years in the United States.
After the first three events were held on the east coast of the US, two events at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida in 2004 and 2007 followed, before the event moved for Rennsport Reunion IV to the west coast in 2011.
  • Rennsport Reunion I - The first Porsche Rennsport Reunion event was held at Lime Rock Park, Connecticut in 2001.
  • Rennsport Reunion II -The Porsche Rennsport Reunion II was held at the Daytona International Speedway in 2004.
  • Rennsport Reunion III - The Porsche Rennsport Reunion III was held at the Daytona International Speedway in 2007.
  • Rennsport Reunion IV - The Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV was held at Laguna Seca in Monterey, California in 2011.
  • Rennsport Reunion V - The Porsche Rennsport Reunion V was held at Laguna Seca in Monterey, California in 2015.
  • Rennsport Reunion VI - The Porsche Rennsport Reunion VI was held at Laguna Seca in Monterey, California in September 2018 with 81,550 attendees.

Baja cantina and grill would be great but packs up early. Last RR we went to Salinas. They have some really nice restaurants options. Much easier to congregate too. My $0.02 but open to other options.

Proper Hotel and Parking for the cars is my concern. Any information would be appreciated. Going to be great! Right now I'm eyeing cannery row and the Intercontinental hotel but I need more information. Reservations are usually a year out?

I noticed about a month ago that 9/15/23 to 9/30/23 were blocked out. You could make a reservation before and after.

There were no block out dates for these options. Got lucky, found a place very close to the track and big enough to accommodate our group (6 cars).
